I am looking for info from current users of fuel additives for #2 diesel-(ulsd. what have your experiences been? is it cost effective? what are the benefits as compared to the costs?G. MacDougall[email protected]

When I had a fuel storage tanks I dropped fuel additive into the diesel storage tank. The additive that I used also raised the cetane level so I added it year round. I got mine from Certified Labs. Now that I don't have a storage tank I buy mine from a local station that winterizes their fuel.

Our fuel supplier New Alliance F/S injects an additive Dieselex Gold into the fuel as they refill the tanks. Not sure about raising the cetane level,but dang sure makes them smoke a lot less. Had comments from the drivers about the reduced fumes without saying a word to them. So it isn't my imagination. The cost I think is .02 a gallon more.

It is also supposed to help with the bugs and algae. I check the tanks annually. So far so good.

I tried to get my previous supervisor to OK the testing of this product, but he was afraid of screwing up our Cummins warranties: http://www.wsbindustries.com/Fuel%20Additives.htm. I actually use the boost tabs in my own car and see some mileage benefits.

We used to fill our new fuel filters on annual with SeaFoam SF-16, but have switched to Lubro-Moly Diesel Purge LM2005 as it is cheaper and specifically designed for diesels.

No problems with my fuel. I use an FS member company and I tell them they live in the same world I live in and they have diesel engines too. So they use their own discretion when adding an additive to the fuel. By the way, I don't have to add anything to my propane fuel and don't even have to plug them in. lol
